Tether is considering a $1.15 billion investment in German robotics startup Neura, aiming to expand its presence in AI. The deal could value Neura at $9.3-$11.6 billion, but it’s still in the discussion stages without confirmation from either party. Tether already backs 140 companies and plans to invest in various sectors, including robotics for smarter automation. Neura aims to produce 5 million robots by 2030 for tasks like household chores and business operations.

Tether reported a net profit of over $10 billion in the first three quarters of 2025, following a $13.4 billion profit in 2024. The company generates revenue from interest on US Treasury bills backing its USDT stablecoin, with a market cap of around $184 billion. Tether has expanded into commodity-trade lending, investing $1.5 billion in agricultural products and oil. They also tokenized Tether Gold, with a market cap exceeding $2.1 billion amid a gold rally.

Tether explores a potential $20 billion fundraising round to reach a valuation of $500 billion, comparable to OpenAI. The company’s expansion into commodities and successful tokenization of Tether Gold have contributed to its growth and profitability. Tether’s strategic investments in various sectors position it as one of the most profitable companies globally, with a focus on stablecoin innovation and financial services.
